A council candidate has taken issue with a statement in the "letters to the editor" pages of The Weekend Sun and the letter's author agrees he got it wrong.

Mark Groos responded to Graham Clark's writings, published in the Sun on Friday and in the Letters section of SunLive -- showing that his comments were not accurately reported, and Graham has apologised.
Graham Clark, in an email to SunLive, says:"In a private exchange of emails to Mark Groos I asked him the following question:
What if the majority of the ratepayers demand a museum, and you know it will bankrupt the council - do you still do it because the majority want it?Mark's response was:
'If the majority of the community demand a museum and are prepared to pay for it, then I will do it.'
In a letter to the Sun Graham wrote the following:
'I asked Mark that 'if the council was bankrupt, but the majority of ratepayers voted the council go ahead with an expensive item, what would he do?”Mark said "if the majority wanted it, that's what he would deliver! - Even though they were bankrupt!'
"I omitted the most important words from his response 'If they are prepared to pay for it'."
Graham says: "This is a key phrase in Mark's reply to me, and by omitting this key phrase from my letter I have insinuated that he would be prepared to bankrupt the city, which could not be further from the truth. I would sincerely like to apologise for my omission of these words in my letter and to Mark for inadvertently misrepresenting his answer to me."
